Potassium Acetate, also known as Diuretic Salt and Acetic Acid Potassium Salt, has the chemical formula C2H3O2K or CH3COOK. It appears as a colorless deliquescent crystalline powder or white flakes with a faint acetic odor and is soluble in Water at ambient conditions. When heated to decomposition it emits fumes of potassium oxide. An ACS Grade reagent is a chemical that meets the purity requirements of the American Chemical Society (ACS). It is generally equivalent to the Analytical Reagent Grade. For dependable, consistent, and repeatable findings, ACS Grade reagents can be utilized in high-quality research labs. In the United States of America (USA), Lab Alley sells its high-quality Potassium Acetate, ACS Reagent Grade online at laballey.com.
